Is there any way to run parity with less memory?

[georgek146]

I am trying to run parity on a low memory vps, and I am getting fatal runtime error: out of memory. Is there any way that I could run parity with less memory? If not how much memory do I need to be able to reliably run it?

How much memory do you have available?

You can use --cache 16 which reduces the internal caching in memory to a minimum of 16MB.

Also try this:
--pruning-history 16 --pruning-memory 16, but note this will cause your node to be unable to handle more than 16 blocks long forks.

What version are you running and which network you're trying to sync with?
